Overview of the webinar

In this excellent course, Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, teaches you how to work effectively with reports exported from property management software into Excel. He explains the pros and cons of exporting to Excel directly versus the comma-separated value format when available. In addition, David demonstrates how to: avoid the pitfalls of Protected View and Compatibility Mode that can slow down or even stymie your work in Excel; mine data from property management reports with the SUMIF function; chart your P&L with a Waterfall chart in Excel 2016 and later; and color-code data, such as rental rates and near-term lease expirations, with Conditional Formatting. After this presentation you’ll be empowered to work more effectively with your property management reports.

David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Office 365 version of Excel. David draws your attention to any differences in the older versions of Excel (2019, 2016, 2013, and earlier) during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.

Office 365 is a subscription-based product that provides new-feature updates as often as monthly. Conversely, the perpetual licensed versions of Excel have feature sets that don’t change. Perpetual licensed versions have year numbers, such as Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and so on.
